How do I change my deposit limit on PokerStars? A Specialist‘s Guide to Managing Your Limits
As gaming specialists focused on keeping our readers informed with the latest PokerStars updates, news, and insights – we want to clearly explain upfront exactly how you can update your deposit limits:
To change your deposit limit, go to the "Responsible Gaming" section under your account settings and enter a new daily, weekly, or monthly limit that will need to be reviewed over 24 hours before taking effect.
Now, let‘s dive deeper into recommendations around setting deposit limits properly based on some key analysis of how PokerStars approaches responsible gaming limits and restrictions.
An In-Depth Look at PokerStars Deposit Limits
The deposit limits on PokerStars are cumulative in nature, meaning they take into account deposits you have already made during previous days, weeks, or months depending on the type of limit.
For example, if you had deposited $50 already this week and changed your weekly limit to $100 today (Tuesday), your remaining limit for the week would only be $50.
Here is an easy overview comparing the different limit periods:
| Limit Period | Description | Max Limit Allowed |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | Resets every 24 hours | $640 |
| Weekly | Resets every Sun. 00:00 ET | $1,500 |
| Monthly | Resets after 30 days | $2,000 |
As you can see, the daily limit allows the highest per period amount at $640. This gives players more flexibility managing deposits day-to-day, but can potentially lead to fast accumulation if not tracking closely.
The monthly limit is good for restricting longer term, but gives the least flexibility if you reach it early on. My recommendation would be to leverage a weekly limit for most players as a balanced option.
No matter what type of limit you choose, be very aware of the start/end so you can plan appropriately!
Guidance on Setting Your PokerStars Deposit Limits
Determining your personal deposit limit is an important part of gaming properly. You want it high enough that you retain flexibility depositing, but low enough that play stays responsible and within your means.
Some key aspects that I would take into account when setting a PokerStars deposit limit:
- Affordability based on overall income
- Other gaming budgets and expenses
- Ability to closely track deposits made
- Preferred type of limit based on analysis above
